The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has issued a stern warning to the All Progressives Congress (APC), urging them to avoid turning Osun State into a zone of lawlessness.
The forum emphasised adherence to the rule of law and discouraged any form of self-help in political matters.
Speaking in Osogbo on behalf of the forum, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, accompanied by PDP Governors Forum Chairman and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, called for calm and lawful engagement over electoral disputes.
Both governors were present in solidarity with Governor Ademola Adeleke at the swearing-in ceremony of newly elected council chairmen.

Governor Makinde reminded those instigating unrest in Osun to learn from history, warning against actions that could destabilize the state.
He urged the APC to allow peace to prevail, insisting that any grievances should be settled through the judiciary rather than resorting to illegal means.
“The PDP and its governors are focused on delivering the dividends of democracy to our people. My brother, Governor Adeleke, is fulfilling his promises to the people of Osun State,” Makinde stated.
“If anyone has a court judgment, there are legal procedures for enforcement. Resorting to self-help is both unlawful and unacceptable,” he added.
